hit straight to long-off. Gone for 94
DC vs PBKS, 64th Match at Dharamsala, IPL, May 17 2023 - Match Result
That brings an end to tonight's presentation. That was interesting from David Warner and Rilee Rossouw on the pitches at Kotla. Pretty scathing that they could never trust the home pitches, and lost all home advantage. On a true pitch, the best of their batting came through, and the value of their bowlers shone through. Kuldeep and Nortje were sensational. On a slow pitch, you negate the quality of Kuldeep because many other spinners can do well there. All this analysis will go into the final analysis. PBKS are also almost out bar a mathematical miracle. We take your leave now. The action never stops. See you tomorrow.
11.40pm Rilee Rossouw is the Player of the match. He says, and this is not verbatim: It was long overdue. I am chuffed it did come, and with the win. It is a good wicket, which suits our game. It is just natural the batting on this wicket. Credit to Livi, he played an unbelievable knock.
11.38pm David Warner says: It was a bad performance in the field but we will take the win. We lost the toss but batter with fluidity. The wicket helped after the inconsistent pitches at home. You want consistency from your home venue. We haven't been able to work out what am good total there is.
11.25pm Dhawan spot on with the analysis of his bowlers. They didn't pitch it up when it was seaming around. Khaleel and Ishant did. That was the big difference between the two sides. And then Nortje sealing it with the 16th and the 19th. Just heavy lengths with that extra bounce in the pitch.
11.20pm Shikhar Dhawan says, and this is not vebratim: It was frustrating, but I don't think we bowled well in the first six overs. We should have taken some wickets the way the ball was moving around. You always hope. After that no-ball, we hoped because Livi was playing a great knock. Even my decision to bowl a spinner last over backfired. And before that the fast bowlers didn't pitch the ball up in the powerplay. That was the plan but we didn't execute. It is hurting us. Every powerplay we are giving 50-60 runs and not taking wickets. We knew the first two-three overs it would swing, and we knew we could take our time. The first over also went maiden, which doesn't often happen, but it did happen.
11.16pm A consolation win for DC as the other batters leave Liam Livingstone stranded. He had absolutely no support in conditions that this chase was very possible. PBKS now need some kind of wild miracle to make it through. A weird tactical change today: Taide in for Raza ro accommodate Rabada
Needs six for a hundred
thick outside edge to a length ball. Wide of deep cover. Could have taken two but doesn't run
Surely it is game over now
he has missed out. Just overhits this one. A plum full toss outside off, and he has slogged this to deep midwicket instead of long-off. Misses it by a mile
Free hit coming up. PBKS are still alive. They need three sixes. Or two sixes and a four. What have you done Ishant?
high full toss, drilled over wide long-off for a six, and there is a lifeline coming PBKS's way as this has been deemed higher than the waist. DC are not even reviewing it. That is strange. Oh they have reviewed it. The cameras have missed the signal from Warner. It is just above the waist, and the no-ball call stays
The only contest here is if Livingstone gets a hundred
wide full toss, drilled wide of deep cover for four
low full toss, he goes deep in the crease and lofts him over long-on for a six
All over now although PBKS are mathematically still in this
full and wide, Livingstone tries to go over long-ff but is beaten. Just inside the tram line
Five sixes and a four required. No over-rate penalty, but that doesn't matter. He needs sixes
oh Nortje. After a superb run-out earlier he goes at the wrong end. Livingstone has pushed this straight at him and run off. Nortje goes for the striker and misses that too
and this is getting over now. Nortje goes full, doesn't allow him to get under it. Livingstone turns down the single, which doesn't make sense to me as the last ball is coming up
nails the yorker, and the inside edge goes straight to short fine. A yard either side, and he would have got four
It is game over now, you'd think. It is almost four a ball, and Livingstone is the only hitter left. Rahul Chahar is the new batter
no he is not looking for the single. The short ball is outside off, and beats his waft. Livingstone rushes through for a bye, makes it in with a dive, but Brar doesn't. Nortje has run him our
Harpreet Brar is the new batter.Does he look for a single?
shuffles across early, I am expecting him to move back but he doesn't. Nortje goes full and straight on the leg stump. Knocks the leg peg out
Perhaps now we can say it was fun while it lasted. Livingstone now might have to do it all on his own
misses the yorker. Curran is deep in the crease, and drives this over extra cover for four
Two big overs. Still 19 an over left. DC need someone to kill this with a 10-run over. Nortje to bowl. They are behind on over rate, and will most likely bowl with an extra man in in the last over
superb comeback. Low full toss, nearly a yorker, and just inside that blue tram line. Livingstonje doesn't even try to reach it because he is standing back on leg stump
It is under three a ball now
that's a gift. A length ball down the leg side, and Livingstone is now waiting in his crease. Flicks it over short fine for another six. The third of this over
yorker, on leg, drilled to long-on for a six
Curran shows why you can't be farming the strike with him. Slower ball, short of a length, outside off, and Curran upper-cuts it over backward point for a flat six
nails the yorker, hits hie toe, Livingstone doesn't want the leg-bye but Curran pushes him through
Livingstone is keeping this alive. What a single-handed effort so far. Mukhesh goes for the straight yorker, misses his length, and Livingstone gets under it to clear long-on with ease
wide outside off. Looking for the wide yorker but goes too wide
After all that, that last over was worth only the required rate. Three a ball still. Mukesh to bowl
